As the special session approaches the

which, in the event OF passage, makes
Great Falls county seat, become more
active. On the other hand, those opposed
to county division are marshaling their
forces for the fray. Without desiring to
enter into discussion as to the relative
merits of each side of this question, it
looks as though Choteau County could
spare some OF her territory and still have
sufficient assessable property to support
her. The subject has been discussed at va
rious times. and it has resolved itself into
u personal matter. The fact that considera-
BILE feeling has arisen remains unquestioned.
Later events will show the wisdom or folly
of county division.

The Miner. 1.-THE fourth day of the races
had q larger attendance than even on the
third day. The weather was fine until
well toward evening, when q half hour
shower made the track heavy, but was ap-
preciated by the crowd, having been very
dusty before. There we're four races on
the programme, one being a trot. All of
the running races were marked by heavy
betting, and money in the pools aggregated
about $35 900. Cyclone was Withdrawn
from the quarter mile dash, leaving Mary
Filly. Pappoose, Lila Ferguson and Sorrel
Charley in the contest. There were be-
tween 81, 900 and $1,000 in the pools on
the race, Mary Filly being the favorite
more than ever against the bunch. She
made fine effort for it, but Pappoose led
her neck at the flush. The others were a
length behind. Time, 23h. The
THEE QUARTERS HANDICAP
was also marked by heavy betting with
Avondale two to one over the four con-
testants, Vice Regent, ida Glenn, Keepsake
and Cariboo Chief. The favorite was
started an open length to the rear and did
not come up till on the home stretch,
where he came abreast of Regent and Glenn.
It was then hot race to the finish. Regent,
it is believed had the race, if be had been
given fair show, but the jockey used
neither whip nor spurs and pulled his head
to one side causing loss by half head,
Avondale winning. Glenn was a neck on
the leaders at the finish, the others a
length behind. Time, 1:1S. Regents
rider was fined $25.
THE BEST GAMBLING RACE OF THE DAY
was the mile and quarter dash between
Daniel B., Diavolo and Rosa Lewis. There
we're about $500 in the pools. Daniel B.
was the favorite, Diavolo second, Rosa
Lewis, low. It was a hot race. and on the
first pull past the stand, Daniel B. cut
ahead when he stumbled and threw the
rider, Latferty) not hurting him, however,
and from this cut the race between the
other two was hot one. Rosa Lewis led
by slight advantage throughout. Diavolo
by his best efforts
WAS UNABLE TO OVERHAUL HER.
Rosa won with hands down, in 2:14K.
Mutuals on her paid five to one, and auc-
ton pools nearly double that amount. The
special trot between Hero, Pilot and Ry.
q. was won by the latter, taking three last
heats in four. Hero wou Ull0 flIot neat.
